Hello all. I hope you are all well and staying home and safe.
I saw this sweet little quilting Bee paper doll on Kyle's Blog, Timeless Reflections. It is offered by Kathy Schmitz, and you can get it free right here.
She's my little quilting friend and she is helping me feel inspired to sew. I am finding it hard to settle into hand work.
I made a sleeve for my House Quilt so I could hang it in my sewing room. Nutmeg pulled it off the ironing board and made a little nest, pins and all. The sleeve is matching so it's hard to see.
Yesterday I made a sleeve and label for my Pineapple quilt too. When you make crazy backs, labels can be both fun and challenge. Labels can be another level of design on your quilt. I didn't have anymore of the fish fabric but the silhouette print relates to both backing fabrics.
My nephew in Colorado asked me to make him one.
I asked him what color and he chose navy.

Here's my label with Nutmeg in the window.
I'm so happy to have this cheerful quilt to enjoy from my sewing machine. It looks custom made for this spot. Yesterday I made a sleeve and label for my Pineapple quilt too.

I made a circle label using the silhouette fabric. I think it works well pulling it all together.
Here are some prototype masks I made. One of the most important things you can do is NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE. This is especially important when you are in a store, so I'm wearing one when I'm out to remind myself of this until I go home and wash my hands.My nephew in Colorado asked me to make him one.

We have finished our first puzzle. 550 pieces. woo hoo
I was disappointed to see this sign at our favorite Steamed Dumpling shop. I think we'll try their other restaurant tonight. I feel strongly about supporting privately owned restaurants.
Sunday has become Big Breakfast Day. It feels good to have some new "Traditions" during this very unsettling time. Virginia has a stay home policy until June 1st! Not sure what this means for David and Hanna. They may be here for quite a while.
I have been using meditation as a path to mindfulness four a couple of years and I has made a big difference in my life.
I use the Calm App. It also has sleep stories which I love when it's hard to sleep. They offer a free trial if you are interested.
Breath, breath, breath and try to enjoy the view.
